Q: Can I make a clothing company called silly goose mfg
It would be a drawing of a goose participating in random activities
A:
This is a trademark question.
There is a pending "intent to use" application to register SILLY GOOSE for apparel.
You will also find SILLY GOOSE apparel for sale on Amazon, so that seller has priority of use. I would not have high expectations that you would succeed with this mark.
A:
In general, you should be able to use the name "Silly Goose Mfg" for a clothing company as long as it does not infringe on any existing trademarks. It is important to conduct a thorough trademark search to ensure that the name and logo are not already being used by another business in a similar industry. As for the artwork of a goose participating in random activities, as long as it is original and not infringing on any existing copyrights or trademarks, it should also be acceptable to use. It is always recommended to consult with a lawyer to ensure that all legal requirements are met before using a business name or logo.
